Jim and his father Marvin Anderson started buying and raising Limousin beef in the early 80's.  Marvin, by trade, was a meat cutter for Thrifty Foods in Arlington for many years. He fell in love with the Limousin breed after going to a butchers' conference in Canada where the breed was first introduced from France.  Marvin, at 89 years of age is, still hauling cattle for farmers and ranchers all over Snohomish/Whatcom county. 

Jim was born and raised in Stanwood and started with livestock at an early age in FFA at Stanwood High School. He got into the electrical trade in the 80's and currently is working as a commercial electrician.  As soon as he gets home, on go the rubber boots, and he starts in on the many chores of running a beef cattle operation. You will find him out in the fields tending the cows, mending fences, repairing barns, or managing hay production activities. Feeding is a daily chore in the winter feeding 3-4 round bales a day to the cows. Calving starts in the spring, then haying all summer.

Jim and his wife Amy were able to purchase a 75 acre farm in 2016 located in Stanwood just five minutes south of downtown Stanwood on the Boe Road. Additionally, they lease approximately 250 acres for hay production and grazing ground.

Bottom line, we would not sell something we aren’t willing to put on our own plate. Honesty, integrity, and hard-work are essential to produce a quality product, and we want to thank you for considering Triple A to satisfy your beef needs.
